    3 Reasons You Need an Author Website (And Why It’s Not the Same as a Blog)

This can be why they are so popular today and why every writer should have one. Blogs are a great… Continue reading

About Me

My name is Yecheilyah (e-see-li-yah), and my work confronts historical erasure and advocates for a more inclusive understanding of Black history. Through my literature and poetry, I uncover and preserve the rich, often underrepresented stories of African Americans. I also host an annual poetry contest.
